Bradley "Brad" Williamson is an enthusiastic diver who has worked
on Bob and Margret Weller's team

Gold and Emerald Cross found by Brad

over several seasons. He bought and refitted Pandion, the Weller's
legendary treasure hunting ship. Brad studied shipwrecks that the Wellers worked
as subcontractors with the Fisher group, who held leases from the state of
Florida.

"Let's go to Treasure Beach," Brad suggested to me when I visited him. "Every
time

I go down there I find something." Brad had been very lucky. While searching a
spit of beach on the ocean side of U.S.1, the road from Homestead to Key West,
he found coins and a small gold pendant studded with four emeralds in the sand.
Brad had a penchant for finding lost treasure, but there was something special
about treasure beach.

"It is likely that passengers' baggage washed overboard during the hurricane
and it ended up on the beach here," brad said, fortunate to have found a
small remnant from the shipwreck. ( The El Lerri which was one of the Spanish
Treasure Galleons which in a hurricane in 1733).
